Show Gurl vibes with Katy Perry: Interview March
Once again, yes we are late on this issue, no I don’t care, I think the stories are good so I am going to post them. Here we have Katy Perry looking like a 60’s show girl. Well, it’s better than she looks 99% of the time. She is also giving me a liz taylor...
RUNway to Realness E Alt Style
E. Alt is giving us Runway to Reality in her own way. And as much as I didn’t like the April issue of Vogue Paris, as I am looking back at this March issue, I like these stories. But then again, I always love it when Alt gives us a white tee and jeans...
Getting Down to Biz-ness: Balenciaga FW12
Being a woman in business myself, I am always in love with collections that are based around powerful woman, business woman. I like that this is not another take on Melanie Griffith in Working Girl (although I do love that film) but a chic-er more tongue in cheek version that only Nicholas Ghesquire could pull...
Most Fashionable Vacation Pics Eva: River’s Tide in Interview Mag April 2012
The pouty and gorg Matty Pitt and his sexy androgynous girlfriend frolic around the desert in amazing clothes taking really nice pictures. Barf. Sounds barf worthy. But No actually, they took really pretty pictures. And they both look really beautiful. The story reminds me of an organic Inny & Vinny moment. Quite nice. Photography...
TKO: Jennifer Lopez V Magazine Spring 2012
This cover story of JLo by Carine Roitfeld and Mario Testino is the best this lady has looked since Mert & Marcus shot her with Katie Grand for POP Mag a hundred years ago. Although I must admit the crotch area on the boxing underwaer/padding protection kinda freaks me out, I think the rest of...
More RADarte: Kirsten Dunst A Magazine
Kirsten Dunst is one of the people that I have admired from a far since her turn in Interview with a Vampire. I loved her in Virgin Suicides and was obsessed with Marie Antoinette so much that I watched the movie EVERY day for a year. She’s that unconventional, easy ageless beauty that is so...
Just A Lad: Jamie in Fantastic Man
I love that Alasdair McLellan shot one of his childhood buddies for this menswear fashion story instead of some boring gorgeous young model. Jamie is handsome in the English 38 year old “lad” way. I also like the way they cut out the images of Jamie, in an old school ManRay style… hmmmmmm. I am...
Bears: Radarte Style for A Mag
Soooooo… Just when I thought the Rodarte gurls couldn’t get any cooler, they went off and dedicated a whole editorial in their curated edition of A magazine to The California Grizzly Bear. And anyone who has regularly followed my babblings knows about my bear fetish. I am a total BEAR MANIAC. And since I have...
Another Surrealist Inspiration: Stella McCartney in Interview April 2012
Craig McDean and Karl Templer make this Stella McCartney SS12 collection look good. And expensive, no easy feat. The photography style chosen here by McDean reminds me a bit of Manray’s double exposure work and Nick Knight’s flower images. But what really struck me about this story was the model, Katryn Kruger. She looks gorgeous...
Dover Street Market: My Personal Fashion Heaven
If in fact died and went to heaven, I would want my heaven to be Dover Street Market in London. Not only would I be able to wear incredible clothes, shoes, bags and jewels, but I could eat like a pig at the tiny cafe, Rose Bakery, on the top floor (run by Rei’s Sister...
The Beauty of Simplicity: T by Alexander Wang Fall Winter 2012
T has become a bit of a fashion uniform for industry youngsters who are on shoe string budgets. And I buy my fair share of this collection every season because it comes in black and then other chic colors, and the pieces are all season-less. I love that there isn’t a runway show, just...
